TODAY, February 2nd is LWML Mite Box SUNDAY. The large Mite Box is in the narthex. You can help spread the Gospel around the world by contributing to the LWML mission goal. Thank you.

Bell Workshop- February 2nd, February 9th, and February 16th between services during the Bible study hour. If you are at all interested in joining the bell choir here at Saint Paul come learn the basics of music reading and bell ringing technique between services. The first half hour will be discussing the essentials to music reading including note names, finding (and keeping) a steady beat, and learning to read rhythms. The second half will be used to learn how to use proper technique to ring. If you’re interested in attending, email Cameron at praise@saintpaulames.org.

A new recording secretary is needed.  This person is responsible for recording the minutes of the Voters Assembly and Board of Directors.  Qualifications include good organizational skills and the ability to take accurate meeting minutes.  If you could help or would like more information, please contact Will Zitterich or Bob Walker. We would like to thank Lindsey Roach for her service in this position and wish her God’s Blessings in her new job.   Bob Walker, Vice Chair
